T-Mobile reserves the right to install, implement, manage and/or operate one or more software applications, monitoring programs, or other solutions designed to assist us in identifying and/or tracking activities that we consider to be illegal or violations of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any of the activities described in this Section 1. We may, but are not obligated to, in our sole discretion, and without notice, remove, block, filter or restrict by any means any materials or information (including, but not limited to, emails) that we consider to be actual or potential violations of the restrictions set forth in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those activities described in this Section 1 and any other activities that may subject T-Mobile or its customers to harm or liability. T-Mobile disclaims any and all liability for any failure on its part to prevent such materials or information from being transmitted through the Community.

Content

T-Mobile does not claim ownership of the materials you provide to T-Mobile (including feedback and suggestions) or post, upload, input or submit to the Community (collectively "Submissions"). However, by posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting your Submission you are granting T-Mobile, its affiliated companies, and necessary sublicensees, permission to use your Submission in connection with the operation of the Community and their businesses, including, without limitation, the rights to: copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Submission; and to publish your name in connection with your Submission. No compensation will be paid with respect to the use of your Submission, as provided herein. T-Mobile is under no obligation to post or use any Submission you may provide and may remove any Submission at any time in T-Mobile's sole discretion.

By posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting your Submission you warrant and represent that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your Submission, as described in this Section 2, including, without limitation, all the rights necessary for you to provide, post, upload, input or submit the Submissions. You further agree that Submissions shall not be considered confidential.

Content Disclaimer: Cautions and Restrictions

T-Mobile does not control, nor are we responsible or liable for, data, content, information services, or products (including software) that you access, download, or receive via the Community. We may, but do not have to, block Submissions or other information, transmissions or access to certain information, services, products or domains to protect us, our network, the public or our users. T-Mobile reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in T-Mobile's sole discretion.

T-Mobile does not control or endorse the content, messages or information found in any Submissions and, therefore, T-Mobile specifically disclaims any liability with regard to the Submissions and any actions resulting from your participation in the Community. Managers and hosts are not authorized T-Mobile spokespersons, and their views do not necessarily reflect those of T-Mobile. We are not a publisher of third party content accessed through the Community and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, timeliness or delivery of any Submissions, opinions, advice, statements, messages, services, graphics, data or any other information provided to or by third parties as accessible through the Community.

T-Mobile Employee

T-Mobile employees may participate in the T-Mobile Support Community, but are required to be identified by a T-Mobile logo or badge. All T-Mobile employees are bound by the T-Mobile Employee Handbook and T-Mobile Code of Conduct, as well as T-Mobile’s Privacy and Security policies when accessing, using, or participating in the Community. Except Community Specialists described below, T-Mobile employees may not ask Community members for any personal information via a post in a community forum or via Private Message (PM). T-Mobile employees are not authorized to access customer accounts in any capacity or for any reason. T-Mobile employees that participate in the Community do not represent T-Mobile, may not claim to speak on behalf of T-Mobile, and their views and opinions do not necessarily reflect those of T-Mobile. A T-Mobile employee’s failure to comply with this Agreement, these Terms of Use, and/or the T-Mobile Support Community Usage Guidelines will result in corrective action up to and including termination.

Certain T-Mobile Social Customer Support Specialists may be identified with a specific T-Mobile badge, such as moderator (“MOD”), T-Force (“T-Force”) or administrator (“ADMIN”) (collectively, “Community Specialists”). Such specifically identified Community Specialists may, in limited circumstances within their working capacity and hours, assist a customer with an account related inquiry or service issue via a separate Private Message (PM) outside the Community. No other T-Mobile employees participating in the Community may provide such account related assistance.
